Quick Fuel Pressure Drop
« on: June 09 2013, 07:16:25 PM »
Got a GN here where the fuel pressure drops to zero almost instantly when you turn the key off. Pump is new from Racetronix. Injectors are 55's...unsure of age. Fire away guys.

stuck injector, fuel pulsator, leaky hangar fuel pump hose, or leaky check valve in the pump.

somewhere on my site, there should be a write up describing clamping off the two rubber hoses at the front of the car to isolate the problem but I don't see it...anyway, the trouble tree in the link above tells you what to do

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.
